Drifter
The galaxy's wide open, the ports are unguarded, and the only law is what your guns can enforce.
Trade rare cargo across thousands of sectors and build an empire one port at a time. Or skip the paperwork entirely and become the pirate everyone warns their kids about. Form corporations, fight wars over hyperlanes, or keep your head down and quietly out-earn every fleet that ever crossed you.
It's the BBS classic that ate my teenage years, rebuilt for a pocket instead of a dial-up session and a parent yelling about the phone line. The part I cared most about keeping is that the universe is persistent and completely indifferent to you. It does not pause because you logged off. Somebody is playing while you sleep.
There's a build you can play in a browser right now. It is not finished, and the genuinely useful thing you can do with it is find where it falls apart and tell me.
